After not being able to sign Messi, Barcelona's shocking decision to sign Joao Felix and what they'll pay

Xavi Hernández seems to have left behind the departure of Lionel Messi, who will play for Inter Miami, and already has his favorite for attack. Joao Félix is the one targeted by coach Culé, although it would not be an operation at all simple for a single issue, economics. Anyway, the attempt is underway.

Joao Félix has a market value, for Atlético de Madrid, of 100 million euros. That figure is the one that the Colchonero has set as a floor, a number that by case, Chelsea decided not to pay. According to Radio Cataluña, the Portuguese is liked a lot at FC Barcelona, as is his compatriot Bernardo Silva.

The drawback is that with the Financial Fair Play monitoring every movement of FC Barcelona, the club investing 100 million for Joao Félix seems more like a dream than a reality. Diego Simeone does not want him in his squad but neither does Atlético de Madrid want to give him away for a cheap price.

They are going for a striker

Atlético de Madrid wants an area striker. Diego Simeone already has the renewal of Álvaro Morata but the Argentine coach is missing a weight player. With the forgettable performance of Memphis Depay, the guns aim to achieve a signing in that position that can satisfy the technical director.
